Ah...my favourite diecast , Tomica Dandy VW Delivery Van in 1:43. I got this model a year ago and I bagged this item locally. A fellow classic car collector SYSTEMS offered this for $US8 ( P400) at that time). Some people will never pay a dollar for a beat up old diecast but I sure would. This Tomica Dandy is very hard to find even in Japan and even if you find one, cost would be close to $US90 to S100 in mint condition, pristine box. I am still on the lookout for a mint in box VW Delivery Van and if I find one, i would surely buy it and just look away when they swipe my credit card.

ReplyDeleteThanks Mike! I am really drawn to old stuff. I'll be back in Japan on Saturday and hopefully I can bring home some stuff again.
ReplyDeleteProblem is that i bring them home to sell but I end up keeping them hahahahah
nice van brian, even it looks old and beat up, it is still interesting and much sought after by VW die hard collectors.Lucky for you to have this van!
ReplyDeleteBrian, your mindset and mine is about the same. We are authentic toy car / diecast collectors. If you talk to new toy cars collector about all these, I can tell you, it's like vomitting blood.
ReplyDeleteBrian, it seems we are on the same wavelength, see more TOMICA & KADO VW vans from the below link. Cheers!
